Restaurants, retail stores, theaters, cultural institutions and sports arenas shuttered. Hotels closed or transitioned from welcoming guests to housing emergency and frontline workers. While we effectively minimized the spread of Covid-19 in New York City, thousands of our loved ones, friends, neighbors and colleagues have lost their lives to the virus.

    WELCOME TO SPRING THING! We’re excited to celebrate Bronx Science and our children with you at the Parents’ Association’s 2017 Spring Auction & Dinner! Your support of the auction allows the PA to fund countless initiatives that enrich our children’s lives, and for that, we are truly grateful. The dollars we raise will help pay for much-needed items, including technology in our classrooms, materials for science labs, funding for our college office, software loved by parents and students alike, expenses for extra-curricular activities, uniforms for our sports teams, and much, much more! Our 2017 online auction raised a record-breaking $19,000 (50% higher than 2016), so let’s keep the momentum going and beat last year’s live event by 50% as well. Together, let’s do our “Spring Thing” and bid high and bid often! A big thank you to our Auction Chair Dawn Tolan Schmall and her team of dedicated parent volunteers who have given countless hours of their time to pull together our Spring Thing Auction. We are also incredibly appreciative of the efforts of our dedicated principal Dr. Jean Donahue, our fabulous parent coordinator Cindy Golan, and the entire Bronx Science faculty and staff for creating a stimulating learning environment and fostering parent partnerships which help all of our children excel. An extra special acknowledgement to Linda DeSabato and VALLO Transportation LTD., who generously underwrote a large part of this event and whose drivers safely transport many of our students to the best high school in the world! And last, but certainly not least, thanks to all of you for soliciting and donating items, bidding generously, and joining us on the Upper West Side in support of Bronx Science! Remember, your dollars go straight to the PA and directly benefit our children.
